( Zoro is his own man, and has his own judgement to follow. But he also trusts Sanji, so if Sanji won't worry until tomorrow... )

has she done this before? just disappear, not reply?

( He hopes he doesn't sound like a petulant child starved for her attention, but the change in pattern would concern any reasonable person. At least he thinks so.

He reads and re-reads the next part of Sanji's message, trying to discern what he's saying between the lines. )

i didn't know that.

which people do you care about?

( He's curious, not jealous. )

[ There's an appreciation when Zoro doesn't push back and accepts, at least in part, what he's saying. But at his follow-up question, he tries not to think about how he wishes she'd hurry back to them, wishes she'd slip through the door and back into their arms. ]

she's gone a while without replying, yeah. i don't think she's ignoring us, you know? she's just busy.

[ Those words are easier said than felt, though, because there's no denying that he feels her absence, just like he always does when she's away. ]

aside from nami?

there's this, um, woman here named hilda. she's gorgeous and charming and funny and warm and wonderful. i met her pretty quick after i showed up here and... i care about her a lot, you know? so does nami. and she's got a spot in my heart just like nami does.

i adore them both, so damn much. but i don't think there's anything wrong with that, yeah? who's to say you can only feel that way about one person.

[ It's funny. It's only been a couple of months since the last time Zoro asked about his love life, but it's so much easier to answer now. ]
